Franck has been very open about his life with his fans and he has also revealed his childhood trauma of a car crash that left him scarred for life but made him stronger.
Speaking to former Leeds midfielder Olivier Dacourt on Canal+ Sport in 2018 he said: “They gave me character and this strength because, when you are a child and you have a scar like this, it’s not easy. The way people see you, the comments my family suffered for this.”
Ribery added: “People would say: ‘Look what he has on his face, look at his head. What is this scar? It’s so ugly. Wherever I went, people would look at me and not because I was a good person or because my name is Franck or was a good footballer, but because of the scar. The people who talk about you are the parents (of other children), and this is very cruel.”
